80 sexual assaults in one day – the other story of Tahrir Square | Soup for thought | Scoop.it
Egypt's women increasingly at risk of rape and sexual assault as rights groups warn of a step up in attacks HarassMap: where are sexual assaults happening in Egypt?
malek's insight:

The Egyptian government’s response has usually been to downplay this problem. There are no efforts to prosecute the attackers or actively investigate the crimes. Since November 2011, police have stayed away from Tahrir Square, which leaves women unprotected while the men involved in these gang rapes remain confident that they will not be arrested or identified by the police.
